The present study aimed to build a tool to measure the quality of video
streaming technology used in university open education .It also aimed to
establish the validity and reliability of the tool by using standardization
procedures followed in such studies.
To achieve the objectives of the study, a tool was built to be in its final
form of (47) items .These items were distributed on four domains: planning
for the video session, the design of educational material and its technical
reproduction, the style of presentation, and the role of assistant. The tool was
designed by referring to the theoretical framework and previous studies.
To ensure the psychometric properties of the scale of the study, it was
distributed to a sample consisted of (102) male and female supervisors who
supervise courses delivered by using such technology at Al-Quds Open
University during the second semester of the academic year 2009/2010.
Results of the responses of the sample members on the scale items showed
that the arithmetic mean of the responses on the scale as a whole reached
(4.27), which represents a degree of very great importance. The domain of
planning for the video session was first in order (4.49), followed by the style of
presentation (4.29), then the design of educational material and its technical
reproduction (4.22), and in the last place came the role of assistants (4.19).
To make sure of the validity of the scale, correlation coefficients between
the items of the scale with a total score and with the domain that it belongs
to as well as the correlation matrix between the domains were computed .All
the correlation coefficients were statistically significant at the significance
level (α ≤ 0.01). The reliability of the scale was realized by using the methods
of internal consistency and split half, and reliability coefficients were
appropriate, indicating the validity of the scale and its suitability for use. In
the light of this, researchers recommended the need to take advantage of scale
and employ it in refining the video streaming technology in the field of open
educationDownloads
